Back to topic list

This lesson covers various tasks involved in creating and managing event calendars.

An event calendar is an administrative calendar account that exists to inform your user base about upcoming events that may be of interest to them such as sports matches, concerts, and so on. Event calendars are similar to user accounts, but represent schedules other events that may be of interest to your user base. The administrative controls and functionality of resource management are also similar to those of user management.

An event calendar can be accessed by signing in with the account password using one of the Oracle Calendar Desktop clients. Users have read-only access to the events created in event calendars. However, using the Oracle Calendar Web client, users may copy events and appointments from the event calendar into their own calendars. Administrators or users who have been given special administrative rights may create event calendars.

 

Lesson Scenario

Greg has to create event calendars that can be copied by all the calendar users to their own calendars. Being an administrator he is also responsible for editing details of the event calendars and deleting them if required.
